Patient behavior indicates that certain patients prefer to access prescription medications via mail service and others through community pharmacy channels. Restrictive benefit designs that incentivize patients to use less preferable pharmacy channels may adversely affect patient convenience, which could have the unintended consequence of reducing medication use and adherence.
